According to the 33-year-old singer, if someone wants to be constantly sad, they should spend endless hours scrolling through their Instagram feed and seeing pictures of people doing fun things and travelling on vacations.

She asserted that people should stop this and instead, introspect into their own lives and look at their growth and how far they have come.
